IMO there's nothing wrong with profit seeking schools or universities.

not right now in chile. actual government is a coalition of left parties (including communists) and profit in education is being demonized.
but this was a crappy college so it deserves that this has happened.

lol

I can dream of a debt-free future!

IMO there's nothing wrong with profit seeking schools or universities. The actual problem here is the lack of cheaper alternatives (I assume there is a lack of cheaper alternatives?)

It IS wrong here in Chile because it's actually illegal. These universities are sucking money through real estate companies because they can't do it directly. Until some years ago everybody thought this twist was legal and most people did a blindsight to this issue. But after all the social movements here in Chile It was defined its still illegal.

Aah, I didn't realise that. That seems like a silly thing to make illegal.

No digital copies? And I thought my office back-up policy was bad

Papas fritas is the best rapper name I've ever heard.

Also, good for them.

I like how they tried to confiscate the ash.

Sounds like 3/4 of private colleges in the US.

Sounds like every public college in the world.

Wow, is there anything French Fries can't improve.....Burgers.....Fried Fish.....Educational System in Chile.

 

[RumblingRosco]

Note to self, when I start a for-profit college here in the US, don't let myself get so distracted by all the poor saps I'm swindling that I forget to make a few digital backups of the money I'm owed.

Is it bad to say that this is one crime I really hope inspires copycats?

This is one thing I wish hackers would target.

"You owe $42,000, you say? More like $42! trololol"

Batman!

How can that university collect on debts if they were shut down as a sham. Seems ridiculous to make students pay.

 

[YoungHav]

Awesome. Those greedy fucks couldn't be bothered to pay someone $5/hr to make electronic copies? Good!

 

[SyNapSe]

This company had 500 million dollars in contracts and simply stored one copy of them in paper? Good call..

 

[Gr1mLock]

Can someone do that here pls?

 

[Coriolanus]

Dunno how it works in Chile, but down here if you presented an electronic copy, the other side could simply argue that the copy is not the original document and ask you to produce the original. If you can't, too bad, so sad. The onus is on the creditor to keep the originals.

"Oh but it is not my fault that they were destroyed, some guy burned them."
Great, then you can sue the guy that burned them. Not the student.

Now this is art I can get behind.

I like how they tried to confiscate the ash.

With so much money up in smoke I can't blame them for being this desperate,

Brilliant ... now if only he could sneak into my local bank ...
